Dynamic impedances of bridge abutments
, 1992 The soil-structure interaction at bridge abutments may introduce important changes in the dynamic properties of short to medium span bridges. The paper presents the results obtained, through the use of the Boundary Element Method (B.E.M.) technique in several typical situations, including semiinfinite and layered media.

Computer-aided limit states analysis of bridge abutments
Electronic Journal of Structural Engineering, 2001 This paper presents a computer program developed for limit states analysis of abutments. The program can perform both structural and geotechnical analysis of bridge abutments and check their resistances in compliance with limit states design criteria ...

Monitoring of a bridge with integral abutments
, 2009 Preliminary results obtained from short term test-loading are used to illustrate possibilities of FEM used to calibrate complex interaction characteristics between a pile and soil in a bridge with integral abutments. The measurements are obtained during the winter season on the bridge over Leduån, in Northern Sweden.

Assessment of the Seismic Vulnerability of Bridge Abutments with 3D Numerical Simulations
Geosciences, 2022 The role of abutments on the seismic vulnerability of bridges has been relatively little studied in geotechnical literature. To cover this gap, 3D numerical simulations were herein performed, by studying the seismic performance of three single-span ...

NUMERICAL EVALUATION OF THE MODAL CHARACTERISTICS OF A BRIDGE ABUTMENT [PDF]
Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2015), 2019 The seismic analysis of bridges needs to account for the effects of soil-structure interaction with methods that strike a reasonable balance between completeness and reliability of the numerical soil-structure interaction models. In view of this, focusing on the marked influence that the behaviour of the abutments can have on the seismic performance of

Design of GRS bridge abutment using river debris as backfill material [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesThe Horizon Project CIRCUIT (2024) seeks to construct a new bridge on a local road in the municipality of Črna na Koroškem, Slovenia, replacing the existing structure over a torrential creek.

Comparison of various FEM approaches in analysis of passive earth pressures
Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science, 2018 Passive earth pressure is an important element in integral bridge design. Due to the integral connection between bridge deck and abutments, the integral bridge expansion and contraction under temperature action causes abutments to move together with the

Reducing Scour around Semi-Elliptical Bridge Abutments: Application of Roughness Elements
Fluids, 2023 Bridge abutments in river channels induce local scour. Recent research indicates that introducing roughness elements on the surface of the bridge abutments can influence the flow pattern around the abutment, reducing the intensity of eddies and diverting
